High-Priority Research in Tobacco Regulatory Science (Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) are seeking applications for high-priority research projects in tobacco regulatory science.
